The statement from Sen. Sanders:

The incoming Trump administration and congressional Republicans are targeting cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and changes to Social Security for future generations as a way to pay for their planned tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.
Democrats are going to need all of their most experienced advocates in key positions, because it is going to be a battle. Since Republicans took back the House in 2022, they have had their eyes on slashing the beloved programs.
Sen. Sanders is a the sort of powerful advocate that Democrats will need to turn back the threat.
